Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for transmitting objects of varying types from one processing unit to another using a transporter. The present invention enables the user to create and iconically display each transporter and object icon on a display. At object type definition, the user enters the characteristics of each object type once into a database. Furthermore, at transporter creation, the user enters the transmission command and destination address for each transporter once into a database. As such, the transporter is capable of transmitting numerous objects to a predefined processing unit without continuously prompting the user for object characteristics, mailing protocols, or destination addresses.

Abstract: An arrangement (10) for overmolding an article which extends beyond the mold cavity itself is provided with first and second mold portions arranged on opposing sides of a first portion of the article, which is contained within the mold cavity. A portion of deformable material (26-29) is disposed in the region where the mold halves interface with a second portion of the article, which extends beyond the mold cavity. When the mold halves are clamped down in a conventional manner the deformable material forms a seal in the area of the second portion of the article which prevents the molding compound, which is injected into the mold cavity under pressure, from escaping in the vicinity of the second portion of the article. This arrangement is particularly adaptable to molding integrated circuits of the type which are installed on leadframes which extend beyond the mold cavity. Similarly, the arrangement can be used to overmold optical devices which have optical conduits extending beyond an overmolded portion.

Abstract: No wide bulk diamond wafer exists at present. A wide diamond-coated wafer is proposed instead of the bulk diamond wafer. Diamond is heteroepitaxially deposited on a convex-distorted non-diamond single crystal substrate by a vapor phase deposition method. In an early step, a negative bias is applied to the substrate. In the case of a Si substrate, an intermediate layer of β-SiC is first deposited on the Si substrate by supplying a low carbon concentration material gas. Then the carbon concentration is raised for making a diamond film. The convex-distorted wafer is stuck to a holder having a shaft which is capable of inclining to the holder. The wafer is pushed to a turn-table of a polishing machine. The convex diamond wafer can fully be polished by inclining the holder to the shaft. A wide distorted mirror wafer of diamond is produced. Fine wire patterns can be made on the diamond mirror wafer by the photolithography.

Abstract: The method determines if the measurement of the travel of a vehicle carried out by a pulse generator has been tampered with or manipulated. The pulse generator generates a pulse signal proportional to the path travelled by the vehicle. The pulse signal is output to a data recorder for registration. The duty cycle of the pulse signal is compared with a reference ratio stored in the memory of the travel detection device made up of the pulse generator and the data recorder. A significant deviation of the measured duty cycle from the reference ratio is indicative of manipulation of or tampering with the detector. The duty cycle is preferably monitored when the vehicle is travelling at constant speed. A constant speed of the vehicle is assumed when the pulse generator outputs three equal signal periods consecutively. The duty cycle may be derived from the average of three successive signal periods.
